			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every woman wants a sincere man that stands by them in happiness and sadness of life and their love will keep on increasing with the passage of time. The women are worried if the man would remain sincere or cheat them. Japanese women are no different from other women in the world and remain almost the same.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Japanese culture places special significance on water fountains. There are two main types of Japanese fountains: Tsukubai fountain, Shishi-Odoshi Fountain. Both of these fountains have rich cultural history.</p>
<p>Tsukubai fountain is a Japanese fountain usually found outside the Buddhist temples and Japanese tea gardens. Visitors are needed to “squat or crouch” i.e. to bend down, and go through the cleansing ritual before entering the temple. This cleansing ritual is conceptually similar to the ablutions ritual performed in Christian churches. This Tsukubai cleansing ritual involves hand washing and mouth rinsing. This cleansing ritual is performed prior to entering the Buddhist temples for tea ceremonies.</p>
<p>A Tsukubai fountain is usually made out of stone basin, known as chozubachi. The most prominent element of Tsukubai is a bamboo pipe also known as kakei. A small bamboo scoop is placed on top of the basin, ready to use for performing the cleansing ritual. Tsukubai fountains are usually found outside the Japanese tea gardens or in Japanese themed homes.</p>
<p>A stone lantern, also known as ishidoro, is placed near the tsukubai to provide light during the evening tea ceremonies. Arrangement of stones around the Tsukubai is critically important when it is designed. Green floras and bamboo plants make a great compliment to the area surrounding Tsukubai.</p>
<p>Simplistic in design, a tsukubai is beautiful addition to your garden or tea-house to increase it’s Zen-appeal and add cultural history to intrigue your guests and visitors.</p>
<p>Shishi Odoshi is another Japanese fountain that is very well known for its peculiar style and antique beauty. Shishi Odoshi literally translates into Deer-Scarer. Japanese farmers used the shishi-odoshi fountain to scare away the deer’s and pests that were destroying their agriculture.</p>
<p>As the Japanese culture progressed, Shishi-Odoshi was used more as a meditative element. It’s ability to create calm serenity in its surrounding is really appealing to the Zen Monks. Shishi-Odoshi is famous for the rocking motion of bamboo and its “clacking” sound. The bamboo rocks back and forth with water being filled and emptied from the spout. When the bamboo spout gently hits the surface of basin, it makes a “clacking” sound that is soft and refreshing. People performing meditation are especially fond of this soft clacking sound to focus and concentrate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learning a new language is not easy. Unless you possess the gift to speak different languages, living in a foreign country can be very difficult. For instance, you may want to use the public bathroom but since you don&#8217;t know what to say, you resort in making weird gestures hoping to be understood.<br />
There are economical ways of learning the language especially if you are already in the place.</p>
<p>Firstly, join a free Japanese language class at the city hall nearest you. Classes are free because these are conducted by volunteer Japanese teachers. To join, just show the Japanese staff your passport and ask for some English assistance. They usually have one staff who knows how to speak English. Tell him you are interested in joining the free Japanese class. He will present you with options regarding the schedule of classes.</p>
<p>Secondly, enroll in a Kumon Japanese Language Class nearest you. If there is none, ask them to send you a brochure online. Their brochure will help you understand the Kumon method of learning the language and some of the questions you may have in mind about their classes.</p>
<p>Lastly, teach yourself the language with an audio book for learning Japanese. It might take a while to learn the language especially if there is no one to teach you, so patience is vital. A good ear for listening and frequent repetitions will help. Practice is after all the key to success.</p>
<p>Learning a new language therefore does not have to be expensive. It just requires a little research. Look around you. There may be other ways where you can learn Japanese without spending too much money.</p>
